Re-launch The Hague Just Peace app

In 2014, the Museon developed an app with the support from the Municipality of The Hague in which you can find everything in the field of Peace & Justice. You can also use this app to make various tours through the International Zone in The Hague. The app has been updated and provided with new content and the relaunch will take place during the Hague International Open Day. The Just Peace app can be found in the Play Store and the App Store.

In the International Zone there are a number of famous international organizations, such as Europol, the OPCW and the Peace Palace. But this place was once a true war zone. During the tour you will learn about the history and the future of the zone and the organizations that stand there.
